"We must have evaluated over one hundred companies to move our 650,000 square foot facility before calling ARS. We realized twenty minutes into the walk thru that ARS was the solution we had been searching for. Their ability to remain flexible to our schedule changes and the precision planning which kept us in business through the project was truely impressive." - Mike Svec -- Warner Elektra Atlantic
